Ricotta Salata

$14.00 Per Pound

Literally translating into “re-cooked salted,” Ricotta Salata is a dense, cakey cheese with a crumbly texture and a taste that’s right in the middle between feta and a cheesecake. A weird spectrum, to be sure, but it really does make sense. It’s made from the leftover whey from the production of other cheeses (that’s why it’s re-cooked), so it’s quite the sustainable cheese! Known as the anchovy of the cheese world it adds a little salty goodness to anything it touches.
